How it works – step by step

All key information from choosing your bike to returning it safely.

Step 1 · Choose the right bike

Sizing & comfort

The first step is choosing a bike that fits your height. A proper frame size makes your ride safer and much more comfortable.

  • Bike size is based on the seat tube length and your height.
  • Start with your height and our sizing chart, then fine-tune with small adjustments.

Check your recommended size: Bike size guide.

If we suggest a size slightly bigger or smaller than your exact height, don’t worry. Minor adjustments can make the bike fit you well.

Step 2 · Book your bikes & deposit
